“I tested the HUE Animation Kit with my daughter at home this weekend and what shall I say: My daughter has been enthusiastically filming her own animation film for one whole day. Today, we put up a short version of this film onto Youtube, which worked seamlessly, without any problems. I am very very happy with this tool, especially with its easy handling and the Plug and Play and the Onion Skin function. My daughter was able to start using it right away and put her own piano music as an audio to the film. After the summer holidays I am sure going to use it in my classroom within my arts lessons and also for teaching of how to write a film script in various lessons. I had been thinking about doing an animated film in the classroom for a long time already and I have now found a great and easy to handle tool. I am already looking forward to my pupils’ ideas. I am sure they will be just as happy and successful with it as my daughter. Thank you for this great inspiration!”

“I predict that stop motion animation will be a hit in Genius Hour this year. In less than 15 minutes, I will demonstrate the basics to my students and then I will be able to step back and watch what they create using objects from around the classroom (or that they bring from home), making scenery, writing/acting out stories, or just fiddling around the way I did for this test movie.”
